What is the main purpose of a cloud backup strategy?

To enable data recovery after loss or corruption

To improve application performance

To automatically scale resources

A company runs a web application that experiences predictable traffic patterns: high during the day and low at night. The company currently uses a fixed number of virtual machines sized for peak traffic. The company wants to reduce cost while maintaining performance during peak hours. Which approach best balances cost and performance?

Keep the fixed number of virtual machines and add a monitoring alert for high CPU usage

Replace the virtual machines with a single larger virtual machine

Keep the fixed number of virtual machines but right-size them to a smaller instance

Configure auto-scaling to add virtual machines during peak hours and remove them during off-peak hours

What is a disposable resource in cloud computing?

A resource that is permanently allocated to a single user

A resource that is only used for testing and never in production

A resource that cannot be deleted once created

A resource that can be easily created, used, and destroyed without significant loss

Which scenario best illustrates the use of geo-redundancy?

Using a content delivery network to cache data

Encrypting data before storing it in the cloud

Storing backup copies in a different cloud region

Running multiple virtual machines in the same availability zone

Which benefit does data replication directly provide to a cloud application?

Guaranteed data consistency across all regions at all times

Elimination of the need for backups

Increased data durability and availability

Reduced network latency for all users
